MOTIVATION FOR WORK – PERCEIVED SOURCES OF WORK MOTIVATION OF POLICE OFFICERS (PROFESSION, ORGANISATION, MANAGEMENT)
Identification of key components of the police functioning (profession, organisation, management) as relevant sources of work motivation of police officers and evaluation of specific motivational factors within the mentioned sources – are important preconditions for improving motivation, professional satisfaction and work efficiency of the police officers. In accordance with the above- mentioned, empirical research was conducted to determine the perception of police officers on the sources of work motivation and motivational factors in the police, and the intensity of their effect on working engagement and enthusiasm of the respondents. The research was conducted by method of survey, by means of Questionnaire on the Sources and Factors of Work Motivation of the Police Officers. The sample of respondents includes 210 police officers who are students of undergraduate and specialist graduate professional study programme of Criminalistics at the Police College in Zagreb. Research results show that police officers perceive police profession as the most relevant source of work motivation ; they perceive police organisation as moderately motivating source, and police management as borderline motivating source. Motivational factor “Protection of citizens’ lives” is evaluated by respondents as the one with the most intense motivating effect (among sixty factors in total), and “Financial incentives (Christmas bonus, vacation bonus…)” as the factor with the least intense or with demotivating effect (because this factor existed before, but it was abolished and currently does not exist). In principle, profession is determinate source of work motivation, while organisation and management are flexible (indeterminate) sources that can and must be adapted to the motivational affinities and preferences of police officers to a certain level. Diagnostic and cognitive results, obtained by the research, can present the basis for further, in-depth and more extensive research of the issue (based on subject or new information) and be useful resource for better understanding and more effective implementation of motivational techniques and strategies in the police practice.
